Luxembourg Travel guide

Luxembourg : Michelin's recommendations

No, the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg is not limited to numbered bank accounts! This pretty little country of 500,000 inhabitants, located at the crossroads of Europe, has three official languages (French, German and Luxembourgish) and lots of unexpected charm. Luxembourg, its capital built on a plateau dotted with ravines, looks like a stage set. Behind its calm façade as a financial hub and headquarters for European institutions, it is quite a lively place, largely due to the student population. Be sure to visit Mudam, the museum of modern art, and the superb Philharmonie concert hall designed by Christian de Portzamparc. The town also boasts the best Italian restaurant outside Italy, Mosconi, in addition to its many other Michelin-starred eateries. Luxembourg’s roads take you through picturesque landscapes with rivers meandering past meadows and beech forests, steep ridges and high craggy walls, often topped by a castle in ruins. It’s a fun place to go hiking, mountain biking or take a boat ride. Luxembourg’s Little Switzerland is the perfect spot for these activities, with its thick forests, babbling brooks and underbrush covered with ferns and blueberries. You can hike down nearly the entire Sûre Valley, which originates in Belgium and juts deeply into the ancient Oesling Massif. The slopes of the more luminous and open Moselle Valley produce white wines, sparkling wines and a few rosés that are well worth trying.
